All of these specimens should be expected to have tiny
water enhydros in them. Many are visible but even if they are not the specimens
should not be exposed to high temperatures or freezing conditions. All of these
specimens display the highest luster available in any quartz specimen and
terrific form. Often, these specimens will appear under priced compared to those
offered by other dealers. This is due to the fair deal I received on them, not
due to damage or problems.

OKD-073 Amethyst Los Viras Mine, Vera Cruz, Mexico. 7 cm point that is
stockier than most. Displays well from all directions and again, zero damage.
Very nice color, however, the photo shows tip of main point somewhat darker than
it really is. 130$

OKD-081 Amethyst and Unknown Los Viras Mine, Vera Cruz, Mexico. A very
dark colored grouping of points which rise of and run parallel to the matrix.
Most these little crystals, to 2 cm each, are double terminated. An unusual
specimen for the location. Displays well from all directions as a domed
measuring 10 x 8 x 9 cm. The unknown white mineral present is likely anhydrite
or laumontite. It appears as bright white, well formed asicular crystals in
radiating sprays. Individual crystals to 2 cm each. Attractive contrast.
